SG office rents are taking a huge hit as well, mostly are losing money unless you get lucky like my company landlord got 200k/month. There's new businesses like Wework that will continue to put pressure on fixed term leases.

The Sprout place looks quite cool, i'll def make a stop there on my next trip

Does the developer need our IC to apply for TNB?

To boost employment in this difficult period, ICA should open more vacancies for staff since they seem to be shorthanded. Nowadays hard for new graduates to find job. They can use new headcount to open the old checkpoint with more counters.

You def need a car in JB to enjoy but its easily attainable. I took a drive to Desaru 2 weeks ago and chilled at the beach there. Drove right onto the beach (like right onto the sand) and put out a small shelter and deck chair, just chill there for 2+ hrs with my girl. I've never felt so relaxed...

I would def do that, but stay near to checkpoint in JB. I used to work in China and travel few hrs to work is the norm, just another day in the office. I see many people having "quality" time on their phone when eating out with family, all the time. It's how you utilize the time given to you...

One SPR couple (Malaysian) i know is moving to JB city as their rent in SG is S$3500/month and even taking into account the drop in rent this/next year, they expect to pay at least also S$3000+ for a small HDB (900+sqf) good location. Their 1400sqf condo is JB is i guess equivalent to a HDB...

If money is not an issue, then Penthouse unit at PH would be my pick. Either Sea or Marina facing. That's if we talking Zone B la.

With a flick of a pen, the demand will be hot again. All it takes is MY finally confirming and constructing HSR, RTS and PH Ferry, you'll see the demand spike again. I think this is a necessary calm for now, it was really getting out of hand a couple of years back.

I just saw the website, the Isola Grandeur looks quite cool.

As a local, I also think that's too ex, especially for that location. I might consider downtown JB (not mega developments) or Imperia at that price.

No I was really curious, which condos are perceived to be worth >1mil? Imperia, Sky88, Astaka & Summerscape?

Actually how many condo's in JB are really worth >1mil? Only a handful right?

Walau don't remind me of the bloody Mas Selamat, worst jams ever! Traffic start from Indoor Stadium in JB, god.

Well, if they can automate it well that means they will not be constraint by man power, hence all counters call be on full swing all the time, which is a good thing. Its a good idea if done well. SG and MY actually has pretty decent checkpoint technology compared to the world. Just that the...

Keppel not doing well coz of crappy clients like Sete, which owes them >S$200mil http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/no-money-from-brazil-means-no-work-by-keppel-for-client-sete

Too much supply in the market la, no way prices are going up now. Iran is like FU to USA & Russia.

Tech startups also doing well, i.e. Uber, Grab, Netflix, Facebook all on a hiring spree
